Asparagus & Strawberry June Salad

Asparagus & Strawberry June Salad

A strawberry and asparagus salad is a perfect choice for a June lunch, combining the sweetness of ripe berries with the crisp, earthy flavor of tender asparagus. Tossed with fresh greens, a sprinkle of goat cheese or feta, basil, pine nuts and a light balsamic vinaigrette, this seasonal salad is both refreshing and satisfying. It's a colourful, nutritious option that celebrates the best of early summer produce.

Method

This one is easy peasy.

Bring some water to the boil and add in your asparagus whole and boil for 3 minutes - so you have a nice crunch! Once boiled, drain them and leave them in cold water to cool down.

Meanwhile, grab a large salad bowl and mix in your diced strawberries, asparagus, basil, rocket, sprinkle your feta or goats cheese in and give it a good toss.

Then grab a pan and pop your pine nuts in, making sure you turn them regularly until they are gently golden and add them to the above.

Finally, to dress the salad, I like to pour over a splash of olive oil and balsamic followed by a large sprinkle of salt and pepper, give it a good mix and there we have it. A delicious in season summer salad!
